Javier Colomina: We are very encouraged by Armenia foreign, defense policy shift to get closer to us

We are very satisfied with the bilateral relationship that we have today with Armenia. Javier Colomina, the NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, said this in an interview with the Armenpress correspondent in Brussels.

"Yes, I was last week in Armenia. I met with the Prime Minister Mr. Pashinyan, with the Secretary of the Security Council Mr. Grigoryan, with the Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan, with Defense Minister Papikyan. Moreover, I also had the possibility to meet students and junior diplomats and  I gave a lecture there. It was very substantial visit.

“We are very satisfied with the bilateral relationship that we have today with Armenia. We are also very encouraged by the decisions that Armenia has decided to take in their foreign policy and defense policy, the shift they have decided to implement. I know it is a decision that is difficult to implement and will probably take a long time, but, of course, we encourage our partners to get closer to us, and that is what Armenia is doing," said the NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia.
